Hi.
What would you say to this.
Sighted convoy. Sent message to BDU. Approaching. It seems no other uboat was available. When freedom to operate was granted, I moved on. 14000 meters. While still on the surface, spotted big black smoke of explosion and after a while, half of a hull pointing to the sky. One by one, all escorts exploded and sank! The last one when I was submerged. The crew informed me by shouting as if I sank it. Checked via periscope - indeed. Any reasons for that? Planes (not seen)? Other u-boats? Mines (least probable)?
Sank 4 ships so far and night is approaching.
